Ow! That hurt. Quit poking! I disagree with Matb, and think the card
is entirely clear in saying that deckers turn to visit it instead of
going on a run, not that the player sends deckers instead of sending
anyone on a run. HOWEVER, I agree with Matb and others that the most
BALANCED way of playing Fuchi is to not allow a second shadowrun.

I think that if the deckers do it instead of shadowrunning, it should be
during the shadowrun phase. But, it is more powerful if you can use it
during legwork, since cash becomes available for spending. I can see
this either way, but lean towards the visit being during the shadowrun
phase. What do other people think?

No, you send one wave of deckers, and add their decking skills together,
then roll one die and add the bonus, and get one result for the visit.
